Description

SUBSTITUTED
AMINO-AZA-CYCLOALKANES
USEFUL AGAINST MALARIA
The invention relates to novel compounds which are substituted amino-aza-cycloalkane derivatives of the general formula I. The invention also concerns related aspects including processes for the preparation of the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing one or more compounds of general io formula I and especially their use as inhibitors of the plasmodium falciparum protease plasmepsin II or related aspartic proteases.
Background of the invention:
Malaria is one of the most serious and complex health problems affecting is humanity in the 21 St century. The disease affects about 300 million people worldwide, killing 1 to 1.5 million people every year. Malaria is an infectious disease caused by four species of the protozoan parasite Plasmodium, P.
falciparum being the most severe of the four. All attempts to develop vaccines against P. falciparum have failed so far. Therefore, therapies and preventive 2o measures against malaria are confined to drugs. However, resistance to many of the currently available antimalarial drugs is spreading rapidly and new drugs are needed.
P. Falciparum enters the human body by way of bites of the female anophelino mosquito. The plasmodium parasite initially populates the liver, 2s and during later stages of the infectious cycle reproduces in red blood cells.
During this stage, the parasite degrades hemoglobin and uses the degradation products as nutrients for growth [1 ]. Hemoglobin degradation is mediated by serine proteases. and aspartic proteases. Aspartic proteases have been .shown to. be indispensable to parasite growth.. A non-selective 3o inhibitor of aspartic proteases, Pepstatin, inhibits the growth of P.
falciparum in red blood cells in vitro. The same results have been obtained with analogs of pepstatin [2], [3]. These results show that inhibition of parasite aspartic proteases interferes with the life cycle of P. falciparum. Consequently, aspartic proteases are targets for antimalariai drug development.
The present invention relates to the identification of novel low molecular weight, non-peptidic inhibitors of the plasmodium falciparum protease plasmepsin II or other related aspartic proteases to treat and/or prevent malaria.
s The compounds of general formula I were tested against plasmepsin IL, HIV-protease, human cathepsin D, human cathepsin E and human renin in order to determine their biological activity and their selectivity profile.
In vitro Assays:
to The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay for HIV, plasmepsin II, human cathepsin D and human cathepsin E.
The assay conditions were selected according to reports in the literature [4 -7].
is The FRET assay was performed in white polysorp plates (Fluoronunc, cat n°
437842 A). The assay buffer consisted of 50 mM Na acetate pH 5, 12,5%
glycerol, 0.1 % BSA + 392 mM NaCI (for HIV-protease).
The incubates per well were composed of:
- 160 p1 buffer 20 - 10 p1 inhibitor (in DMSO) - 10 p1 of the corresponding substrate in DMSO (see table A) to a final concentration of 1 pM
- 20 p1 of enzyme to a final amount of x ng per assay tube (x = 10 ng/assay tube plasmepsin II, x = 100 ng/assay tube HIV-protease, x = 10 2s ng/assay tube human cathepsin E and x = 20 ng/assay tube human cathepsin D) The reactions were initiated by addition of the enzyme. The assay was incubated at 37°C for 30 min (for human cathepsiri E), 40 min (for plasmepsin II
and HIV-3o protease) or 120 min (for human cathepsin D). The reactions were stopped by adding 10% (v/v) of a 1 M solution of Tris-base. Product-accumulation was monitored by measuring the fluorescence at 460 nm.
Auto-fluorescence of all the test substances is determined in assay buffer in the absence of substrate and enzyme and this value was subtracted from the final signal.

Table A: Summary of the conditions used for the aspartyl proteases fluorescent assays. (at = assay tube) Enzymatic in vitro assay for renin:
The enzymatic in vitro assay was performed in polypropylene plates (Nunc, Cat No 4-42587A). The assay buffer consisted of 100 mM sodium phosphate, pH
is 7.4, including 0.1 % BSA. The incubates were composed of 190 pL per well of an enzyme mix and 10 pL of renin inhibitors in DMSO. The enzyme mix was premixed at 4°C and composed as follows:
~ human recombinant renin (0.16 ng/mL) ~ synthetic human tetradecapeptide renin substrate (0.5 pM) ~ hydroxyquinoline sulfate (0.1 mM) The mixtures were then incubated at 37°C for 3 h.
To determine the enzymatic activity and its inhibition, the accumulated Angiotensin I was detected by an enzyme immunoassay (EIA). 10 pL of the incubates or standards were transferred to immuno plates which were previously 2s coated with a covalent complex of Angiotensin I and bovine serum albumin (Ang I - BSA). 190 pL of Angiotensin I-antibodies were added and a primary incubation made at 4°C over night. The plates were washed 3 times and then incubated for one hour at room temperature with a biotinylated anti-rabbit anfibody. Thereafter, the plates were washed and incubated at room s temperature for 30 min with a streptavidin peroxidase complex. After washing the plates, the peroxidase substrate ABTS (2.2'-Azino-di-(3-ethyl-benzthiazolinsulfonate), was added and the plates incubated for 10-30 min at room temperature. After stopping the reaction with 0.1 M citric acid pH 4.3 the plate is evaluated in a microplate reader at 405 nm.
